Investigation Summary
On August 6, 2002, Employee #1, a carpenter, was using a 7.75-in. skill saw to cut 2 ft by 6 ft wood sections for framing the windows of a single-story home under construction. He was located on the ground level of the worksite. As Employee #1 was bent at his waist, holding the saw in his right hand while cutting the wood section, a piece of wood kicked back. Employee #1's left thumb came into contact with the skill saw blade and was amputated. An accident investigation revealed that Employee #1 owned the skill saw and had brought it to the work site. Additionally, when interviewed, Employee #1 indicated that he had inspected the saw visually before beginning work and found no deficiencies.
